Demand for the product usually starts from first week of December till first week of January and reduces sharply thereafter. For this reason, and to stimulate sales for leftovers, the product is sold at a significantly reduced price from the second week of January to the fourth week of January. Any leftover after the fourth week of January goes waste.

The manufacturer will not ship orders for less than $1,200 total list price. Delivery typically requires five weeks, and freight averages 2.5% of total billed cost. Trade discounts on the merchandise are 40% and 10%; terms are 2/10, n/30. A wholesaler located in the retailer's area stocks many of the same stuffed animals. he does not require a minimum order and will deliver at no charge in the area if the order has a total billed cost of at least $500.
